In the intelligent transformation of the automotive manufacturing industry, accurate data collection is at the heart of realizing smart manufacturing. This data not only ensures information continuity in the production process but also serves as the basis for analysis, decision-making, and traceability in shop-floor and plant-level information systems. Therefore, an efficient data collection strategy is critical to driving automotive manufacturing intelligence.
The Importance of Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateways in Smart Manufacturing
In all aspects of automotive manufacturing, the complexity and real-time requirements of data collection are very high. The traditional centralized data collection model often fails to meet today’s demand for efficient, real-time, and accurate data in intelligent manufacturing. Automotive companies utilize Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateways to collect data, reduce latency, improve real-time data processing, and reduce network transmission load.
Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateway Helps Automotive Manufacturing Data Acquisition
EG Series Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateway
1.EG series Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateway is a multi-protocol and deeply integrated Node-RED visualization programming intelligent gateway. It has strong advantages in automotive intelligent manufacturing.
2.The gateway can be compatible with all kinds of existing production equipment in the factory, greatly simplifying the complexity of data collection and avoiding the data disconnection problem caused by incompatible equipment protocols. It supports docking more than 99% of PLC protocols, supporting such as Siemens S7, Mitsubishi MC/FX, Omron Fins and many other private protocols. It supports general industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, etc.
3.With the deeply customized Node-RED data flow scheduling tool, enterprises can flexibly customize the data flow and processing logic to optimize various process parameters in the production process.
4.Through the field-installed sensors, the Node-RED Industrial Digital Mining Gateway can collect a variety of process parameter data, helping manufacturing enterprises to monitor the manufacturing quality of their products in real time.
5.It is able to locally process and analyze these massive dynamic data in real time, and make predictions and warnings through intelligent algorithms. For example, the gateway can collect real-time equipment operation data by connecting to the factory PLC. It analyzes the health status of the equipment and warns of potential failures in advance, reducing equipment downtime and improving productivity.
Gateway HMI com função de configuração WEB, combinação perfeita para barramentos IO de campo
Na recolha de dados de fabrico, é necessário não só uma transmissão eficiente dos dados, mas também a sua visualização e monitorização. Gateway HMI da série EV vem com a função de configuração WEB, que pode combinar perfeitamente com o barramento IO de campo em profundidade. Pode assegurar a visualização de dados e a operação interactiva durante a aquisição de dados.
1.The real-time data on site can be displayed through the graphical interface, and the operator can monitor the production status at any time and make timely adjustments.
2.HMI gateway supports local storage and network disconnection function. In the event of network problems, it can also ensure that the data will not be lost. And automatically upload the data after the network is restored, which guarantees the integrity of data collection.
Recolha de dados da linha de produção automóvel
Na linha de produção automóvel, há quatro tipos de dados industriais essenciais que têm de ser recolhidos: modelos de produção e respectivos dados do processo de fabrico, dados logísticos das peças, dados de funcionamento do equipamento e dados do processo de fabrico do veículo. Estes dados desempenham um papel crucial na otimização do processo, no funcionamento e manutenção do equipamento, no controlo da qualidade e na rastreabilidade da produção durante o processo de fabrico.
Os modelos de produção, os dados do processo de fabrico e os dados logísticos das peças provêm principalmente do MES (Manufacturing Execution System) e dos sistemas de informação de processos. A transferência eficaz destes dados para os sistemas de processo relevantes garante que as informações essenciais, como os planos de produção, os parâmetros do processo, as normas de ensaio, etc., possam chegar a cada dispositivo e estação em tempo útil para garantir a fluidez e a precisão do processo de produção.
Equipment operating status data and product data in the manufacturing process are often generated dynamically. For example, the operating status of equipment such as voltage, current, temperature, displacement, etc., and process data such as the geometry of stamped parts, the number and position of welded joints, etc. all change continuously during production. This data is not only about production quality, but can also be used for equipment failure prediction and maintenance.
